37 players have won what the PDC call a Premier Event in its history. Thank to the dominance of Taylor and MVG that is still a relatively small number of players for its 29 year history, especially considering the number of premier events it now holds.
I personally still believe there are only 4 proper Majors in the game, The Worlds, The Grand Prix, the UK Open and of course the Matchplay. Obviously when you get to the point of only 4 players left, then 12 of the top 16 will have to be gone at this stage, sometimes more if a player or 2 from outside the top 16 makes the semis but it was the number of top players that went out so early that meant it was a glorious chance for a new winner, Chizzy and Wade going early were hardly surprising, Chizzy is a jobber all be it an entertaining one, Wade is nowhere near the player he was over a decade ago, nor is Cross the player he was, far too inconsistent even if comms tried to make out they were upsets not sure ow Chizzy losing to Ando or Wade losing to a Premier League player constituted upsets.
The real upsets were the early exodus of the top 4 in the World. So which player was most deserving of Knob of the Week ?
Hunchback MvG went out to Dolan and a few years back that would have been a huge upset, but MvG is far too inconsistent and not the player he was and he was not even close to selection this due to the levels of shit thrown.Dolan played well and MvG averaged 99.
Gerwyn Price was 10 -8 up in a race to 11, even had a match dart and lost it against Cullen. Price lost 5 of his last 6 legs. He may have averaged over a ton, but that still counts as a choke,
I am only mentioning Krusty Wright because of his ranking in the top 4, but him losing was hardly a shock these days. He still talks a good game, but does not throw a great game too often.
Another of Sky's favorites Scotland's most miserable player and I am counting Warty Montgomery in that in Gary Anderson won a mere fours legs against Gurney.
Then there was the vastly over rated Bunting. I was once told there were only 2 players in the world better than him. Then the poisonous little dwarf that said that all said Taylor was the only difference between the codes and the PDC bubble would burst. Buntings 92 average might have mopped up at the piss soaked floor at dead Bob's salmonella centre but gets you fuckall in the PDC as Price won 10 of the last 11 legs with Price throwing his C-game.
Then there was Dirk, here was a chance for the Pat Butcher lookalike to finally bag a major and he fucked it up big time. He led 10-7 and needing just a leg for victory somehow managed to lose 7 of the last 9 legs,It was chizzy-like in its choking. On any other week this would have assured him of Knob of the Week but the award this week goes to Mumbles.
Here is a fat entitled mumbling cunt who we were told when he won the World title that the monkey was off his back and the "floodgates would open" the same Mumbles that dickhead Wayne Mardle said would reach the final, out mumbles went. Even when Mumbles ripped apart clogger Steve Beaton, Mumbles only averaged 88. In his match against Dobey Mumbles was 3-0 up, Rod Studd was so far up the fat fucks hole I reckon he could see the back of bellyboys teeth. Bellyboy managed to lose 11 of the next 14 legs, ELEVEN, remember this is the World #1 , and reigning World Champion. As he got more agitated and the strops appeared, the more Rod Studd tried to divert. It was a wonderful result and Studd obviously upset made it all the more enjoyable.
I was delighted to see the prancing , dancing and mincing Twink Barbara van den Bergh get turfed out, along with the 2 dutch hair transplant cunts Noppert and Barney, more so Barney as Sky's rimming of him annoys the living fuck out of me, Barney and Gurney must be the 2 most miserable looking cunts in the game.
Sadly Fluke Humphries is in the semi final, and the only positive from that was he at least knocked out Hector cake lookalike Damon Heta. Heta's walk ons get worse each time, sick to the teeth of the Aussie cabbage trying to impress the fans with his ridiculous walk ons. As boring as the finger pointing 2 legged pit pony taffy Clayton is, I hope he beats Scumphries in the semi finals tonight. Personally I would rather see Cullen win it, or even Aspinall even if we are told over and over and over how he is a fighter, and Aspinall's pausing and amateur dramatics on stage irritates me.
That said overall it has been a great competition with some great moments and shocks.
Still I am sure there are plenty of bitter mushrooms out there who despise all things PDC, at least they Modus to watch this week. Why watch a top tier event in a magnificent arena packed with fans when you could watch jobbers in an empty dark room.
How could a mushroom not enjoy watching these 2 fine handsome men in a dark room on a wet Tuesday morning.
